Tyler may just be having the best day of his life.
His brother Patrick would like a word.
Anxious Attachment is a drama about two brothers, Tyler and Patrick, navigating a moment of quiet crisis, one that surfaces the ways technology, dependency, and family can converge in unexpected ways. Tyler has found something that makes him feel whole. Patrick is not so sure it is real. In twenty minutes, the play asks what of our presence and being we owe each other, and what it means to be present for someone who does not want you there.
Inspired by real-world reporting on AI companion applications and their psychological effects, Anxious Attachment began as a provocation: what does it look like when attachment hacking meets a family that is already fractured?
